Zehner, a Public Relations and Marketing Specialist for the Da Vinci Science Center, was elected Home Club President in Sept. 2008 and began serving in October.

"I thank the Lehigh Home Club's Board of Directors for its continued confidence in me," Zehner said. "When I became Home Club president, I had two primary goals in mind: for the club to gain a greater clarity in its identity, and for the club to gain a greater strength in that identity.

"While I have been president for only a handful of months, I believe we have made significant progress toward achieving these goals. It will be my honor to continue leading a process of positioning Lehigh University's largest alumni club as Lehigh's strongest alumni club."
